The past week has just been a weird one. Very tiring, emotionally exhausting, physically overwhelming, and mentally challenging. I started out last Monday with an early morning ultrasound on my aorta and blood vessel leading to the aorta, followed by a photographer coming to take pictures of the house, followed by our normal jobs + responsibilities and the final big...

Psalm 27:13-14 NKJV I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!

On this sunny Monday morning, my to do list is out of control, my brain is heading in one direction, and my heart in another. So we’ll see if writing helps to get me flowing in one direction . . . Mark and I are taking a class at church called “Taking Your Place in Christ.” And I’ve wanted to take a class like this for sometime, so it seemed...

I missed this week’s posting on Monday due to going to the dentist, and since then, I’ve just been majorly overwhelmed. I realize that moving is in the top five of most stressful events in life, so moving overseas is expected to be a bit stressful.
